Srinagar,
Mar 19: Hitting out at Jammu and Kashmir government for sacking a doctor
for correcting the Health Minister on a Facebook post, former chief minister
Omar Abdullah said ,the doctor did was pointing out that the lift Bali Bhagat
claims to have inaugurated was actually an old lift.
Meanwhile, lone CPI (M) MLA Mohammad Yousuf Tarigami on
Monday termed the sacking of the doctor against the fundamental rights of a
citizen.“All the doctor did was point out that the lift the health minister claimed to have inaugurated was actually an old lift & for that he was removed from his post of Registrar,” Mr Abdullah, who is the working president of National Conference (NC), wrote on micro-blogging site twitter.
The former state chief minister said ministers can protest to defend rape and murder accused, but a doctor can’t point out the truth. “@MehboobaMufti dictatorial Govt in J&K,” he added.
Mr Tarigami said the decision to sack a medico for highlighting some issues in the health department is arbitrary. “From day one since this Government issued social media diktat under SRO-525, we have been saying it is insult to employees and depicts the regressive mindset of the government. An employee enjoys freedom and speech and expression like any other citizen,” he added.
He demanded that the medico should be reinstated immediately. UNI
